Asia Week New York is excited to welcome the Princeton University Art Museum to our network of world-class institutions! Celebrated for its globally diverse collection, ranging from Greek and Roman antiquities to Asian ceramics and contemporary works, its significance lies in how it bridges cultures and periods, creating connections between diverse artistic traditions. Through strategic acquisitions and gifts, the museum has become a vital resource for scholarship, teaching, and public engagement, fostering cross-cultural understanding and offering innovative exhibitions that inspire both the Princeton community and global visitors.

The museum’s Chinese art collection ranks among the finest outside Asia, showcasing Tang and Song dynasty calligraphy, rare Song and Yuan paintings, Neolithic pottery and jade, Shang dynasty oracle bones, ancient bronzes, Buddhist sculpture, and striking Liao dynasty painted-wood tomb panels. Complementing these are Japanese sculpture, screens, and prints from the Heian period onward, Korean celadons and ceramics, and Indian miniatures, textiles, and metalwork. Recent efforts have led to a significant increase in a broad range of objects from India, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia.
